The Baal Cycle
In Episode 97, we’re peeling back the layers of time to explore ancient sites that hold secrets far beyond what history has told us.
From mysterious underground chambers to long-buried relics, these places are tied to stories we’ve barely begun to understand.
As we revisit a hidden world, questions arise:
Why were certain discoveries destroyed, and what truth is being kept from us?
We also journey to Syria, where the Baal Cycle looms over ancient ruins, casting its long shadow over what remains of a once powerful civilization.
Was this temple merely a place of worship, or is there something much deeper buried beneath?
Join us as we connect the dots between lost temples, forgotten gods, and a past that refuses to stay buried. – MLB

In Episode 98, we delve into the mysteries surrounding the Temple of Baal, but that’s only the beginning.
The Temple of Bel (Arabic: معبد بعل), sometimes also referred to as the “Temple of Baal“, was an ancient temple located in Palmyra, Syria. The temple, consecrated to the Mesopotamian god Bel, worshipped at Palmyra in triad with the lunar god Aglibol and the sun god Yarhibol, formed the center of religious life in Palmyra and was dedicated in AD 32. The temple would have been closed during the persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire in a campaign against the temples of the East made by Maternus Cynegius, Praetorian Prefect of Oriens, between 25 May 385 to 19 March 388. Its ruins were considered among the best preserved at Palmyra, until they were further destroyed by the Islamic State in August 2015. The arched main entrance into the temple is still intact, as well as its exterior walls and fortified gate.
Towering beside it lies the ruins of an ancient castle, perched on a cliff and bearing traces of destruction.
What secrets do these structures hide?
Could they be remnants of a lost civilization far closer to us in time than we’ve been led to believe?
As we uncover layers of shocking history, from ancient sacrifices to explosive modern-day cover-ups, this journey will challenge everything you thought you knew.
Join us as we unravel the Baal Cycle, exposing a concealed past that may forever change our understanding of history. – MLB
